The two consolidations at Sansante were like the D&RGW 315 before restoration. They had not been moved in several years, were outside exsposed to the elements, had their tenders, were stripped of some fixtures, especially on the engineer and firemans side. I don't recall any numbers on the locomotives. At that time they would be candidates for sale and shipped north, at scrap metal prices. They could be restored but it would not be cheap, assuming the boilers were up to standards. When I was in Sansanate I was snapping 35mm pictures, but unbeknown to me, the film did not catch so I got nothing at that local.
